Description

1858 P1C Indian Cent, Judd-208, Pollock-259, R.1, PR62 NGC.
The Indian Head Cent design, as adopted in 1859, here with a
centered date and clusters of five leaves on the reverse wreath.
Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. This is the variation
with the date centered, and with leaves in clusters of five on the
reverse. Andrew Pollock enumerated four different variations of the
Judd-208 pattern variety. Sharply struck with olive and pale lilac
color on both sides. Indian cents with the 1858 date are highly
popular and often collected alongside regular issue cents.Ex: Kagin's (7/74), lot 779.(#11885) (PCGS# 11885)
